Strange. She had been wanting him to call her that for so long, but now she only wanted him to use his nickname of Connie.

“I don’t want to leave,” she said. “Can we stay here forever?”

Gage chuckled. They had moved into the lake where he had cleaned the blood and semen from her pussy and his cock.

Seeing the evidence of her first time, the fact he’d claimed it, he’d only wanted to do it again and again. To put his mark on her, but he held himself back.

“Tonight. We can stay out tonight but no other time.” He stroked his fingers down her back, placing his palm at the base and pulling her against him.

She pressed her head against his chest. “I don’t know how I’m going to face them. What if they fire me?”

“You didn’t put the kids in danger. They were already outside when it got worse, am I right?”

“I went to the ground and … I didn’t know I felt her. It was the most horrible feeling in the world. I never want to go through that again.”

“You will.”

She jerked up. “What?”

“You’re a new wolf. These things take time, and I’m not going to pretend it will be a one-time occurrence. There is a risk it will happen multiple times.”

“Is there anything I can do to stop it?”

“Embrace it. The pain will not be as bad.”

She wrinkled her nose. “I don’t mind the pain. I was thinking about helping to ease it. What if I had hurt a child? I would never have been able to forgive myself.” She shook her head, and he sensed her fear.

Putting his finger beneath her chin, he forced her to look up at him. “Stop it. Do not, I mean this, do not think that way.”

“How can I not? I could … I … there is no way I ever want to … I’m sorry.” She covered her face with her hands, and all he wanted to do was tell her it would be okay, but he wasn’t going to lie to her.

“Don’t say you’re sorry.” He cupped her face, forcing her to let go and focus on him. “I will always be there for you. You have nothing to fear.”

“What if … you’re not?” She bit her lip and tears filled her eyes.

His wolf wasn’t happy about that. He didn’t want her to feel fear. “I will always be close to you. All it took was for Lana to come to me. I was there.”

She nodded her head. “Lana again.”

“No jealousy now. I don’t need it.”

“What does this mean exactly?” she asked. “Does this mean … with Tanner, and the whole rejected mate claim?”

“It means we’re on track for you to become my mate. Do you want that?”

Her eyes went wide. “Are you being serious?”

“Yes.” He ran his thumb across her bottom lip. “Completely serious.”

She licked her dry mouth. “Then yes, completely yes, I want that.” She frowned. “Am I sounding too eager?”

He chuckled. “No. You sound just right to me.”

He pulled her in close and kissed her hard. Groaning, he couldn’t help but squeeze her plump ass. His cock swelled. He wanted to be inside her again.

Connie was so responsive. The scent of her drove him wild. They had already stepped out of the lake and now he held her close.

Her hands moved from around his neck, down his body, toward his cock. When she wrapped her fingers around his length, he didn’t stop her.

“Connie, you’re going to be sore.”

“I don’t care, Alpha. I want you.”

Staring into her eyes, Gage couldn’t deny the same claim. He was trying to be a gentleman, but she wasn’t interested. He felt that being a gentleman was a little overrated.

Pushing her hair back, he stared into her eyes. So beautiful, all his.

He’d wanted her for a long time. When he realized his son was destined to be her mate, there had been jealousy. It was why he had pushed his son to start working for the town. If anyone was going to have Connie, they were going to deserve her.

After Tanner rejected her, he hadn’t gotten between them as he knew he was going to stake his claim and make her his. The age gap between them should have stopped him, but it hadn’t. If anything, it had made him more determined to belong to her, to give her what she needed.

Going down to the ground, Connie spread her legs, and he found her center. Once he’d lined his cock between her thighs, he felt her heat.

Slowly, he thrust inside her, taking his time, watching her gaze as he fed her his cock. She whimpered.

“Fuck. I don’t want to hurt you,” he said.

“You’re not. It feels so good. Please, don’t stop. I don’t want you to stop.”

She thrust up against him, and Gage knew he only had so much control. She pushed him to the edge and truly felt like he was going to snap.
